Tribes 1 Legendz

Is there any way to reposition these bad boys? Once deployed, it can't be moved. I seem to grab everything but the damn beam itself. No matter how precise I am at clicking the ball that's associated with each object it snags the item in the background. Any tips?

Thanks.

Virus you can do just the stars like every other nightime map

Thanks Ghost. I just wonder how many maps like the Bot maps move the beams around.

lots.

here try this... this is how i do it.

use something of similar size, like com antennas. Then edit the material list so that its the same as the electric beams.

if you're still confused i'll show you a print screen.

Brilliance! I understand what you were saying.

That's clever as hell, too.

Thanks.

You guys are way over thinking this. Place a small object like a flagstand or cargo crate and select both it and the beam via the mission list. You drag the beam by dragging the object.

I knew there was a way to move it in editor like this. Couldn't think of it though. Last time I played with editor was years ago.

death and crow are the only two I know who've probably spent more time than me on tribes.

also sitting idle for your xfire to rack up time doesn't count crow. but i know you have the real hours so its ok.

LOL @ Shift

Death, that seems a lot more easier, but in my case where I'll be creating an object with numerous beams, Shift idea, as well as Ghost both work for me.

Thank for everyone's response. I appreciate it.
